BSOD and freezing on new win 10 build

[Averus]

Hi everyone,

Me and a friend built a new PC for me a couple of weeks ago but it's been freezing and BSODing a number of times a day.

It seems to give different errors each time, although some are more frequent. The BSOD errors given thus far are...

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXEPTION
- Dxgmms1.sys

MEMORY_MANAGMENT

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
- usbuhci.sys
- watchdog.sys

KERNAL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

REFERENCE_BY_POINTER

It also freezes whenever these BSOD errors occur and the last fragment of sound loops in the speakers to a buzzing sound. Because of the freezing memory dumps aren't being generated so Who Crashed can't tell me any specifics. I tried to set up memory dumps on ctrl, but the keyboard and mouse also freeze (also I can't seem to get memory dumps to be generated on ctrl anyway despite following a few guides).

I've run memtest86 on each stick separately and in each slot with no errors, although I only ran 2 passes on each.

I've recently updated my NVIDIA drivers with no change to the crashing. Windows is fully updated. I'm hoping this is a driver issue rather than a hardware one because I need to use this PC for work and its a bit of a nightmare sporadically losing work due to crashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Many thanks,

Tim

Reading your post suggests this could be a fundamental issue in Windows 10 itself as, if you look in my current thread I am experiencing VERY similar issues.

I have had three of the same BSODs and the audio loops. I have run MemTest and reinstalled Windows to no avail

It's looking like this was a bad RAM stick. I think they clue was the variety of errors, not a single consistent error (which would be indicative of a particular driver etc). The fact that a total lockup was happening too, without the PC having time to create a memory dump would I guess point to hardware.
Anyway I ran it for a day with each RAM stick separately and one just makes it crash. Annoying, but easy to fix, I'm just glad its not the motherboard 😀

Thanks guys,

Tim
